Got on board an eastbound 747

(Note: This was posted before The Big Blogger Meltdown, when the folks at blogspot.com decided to delete a day's worth of our posts to help them, somehow, in their site-maintenance. They promised to put them all back but, so far, I don't know of anyone who has had a missing post re-posted by the Blogger Boys. I've decided on a do-it-myself approach. If they also re-post it, I can delete one. In the meantime, it seems the Thursday Theme Song home page fell prey to the maintenance wizards, too.)

I've taken many flights on the big jumbo jets. Australia is so far away from anything that you needed them for any long haul flights. I have fond memories of family holidays to Europe and Asia on QANTAS jumbos - in those lovely days before air travel became such a pain in the butt.

I loved your song and heartily sang along. Very clever - and a fun start to my day.

We'll get getting on one of those planes very soon. I sure hope it won't be horribly cold. I think we've made a mistake in deciding to go to Yellowstone and Glacier in early June. Oh dear. Here's hoping you're getting an early spring.

I remember the first time I was readying to board a 747....in LAX. And while waiting to go through the ticket line, I saw the enormous jumbo jet's windshield out the window of the airport and saw just how huge it was!! I then started counting the waiting passengers and configured in my head the extra weight aboard.....wondering just how the heck it'd get OFF the GROUND!!! It turned out to be a wonderful trip to Hawai'i!!

You were really lucky with the weather, it's usually not warm at all in Belgium and Holland at that time of the year ! this year it was the other way around ! It was warm here in April up to 26°c and in Southern France only 18 °! We had the warmest month of April and part of March since 1947 !! that wasn't yesterday, lol!

It always rains unexpectedly somewhere, and Europe is no exception! Even here in the States. You say you are unfit for travel, yet you seem to be making a go of it!What are the drawbacks, especially if a singletraveler? Nice post!
